5 Types of Women Who Get Dumped

We loved Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo together and are bummed about their trip to Splitsville. Now, we're not saying Jess falls into one of these categories, but in Cosmo's article, "Guys Uncensored: The Dirty Truth About Dumping You," men reveal the five types of women who practically ask to be booted.

Could you be one of these types?

1. The Dryer Sheet.

She clings to her guy so tightly that no matter where he goes or who he's with he can't shake her loose. Guys crave freedom, so a Dryer Sheet chick can suffocate a man's style. Even if he tells you that he loves spending time with you or wants you around, consider backing off when you don't have to.

2. The Nutcase.

She heavily flirts with dudes in front of her guy to rile him up and likes screaming at him in public for things like making her go home after she passed out at the bar. Men hate drama and don't want to feel like they're in an episode of "The Hills." No matter how fired up you are about something, keep your cool. Or else...!

3. The Full Discloser.

She tells her beau about her menstrual cycle, the eating habits of her three cats, and how many guys she's slept with since losing her virginity at 17. It's nice to feel like your boyfriend is a best friend, but a little mystery goes a long way. There are just some things you should never tell him.

4. The Drama Queen.

She constantly tests her beau by threatening to break up with him. Then when he tries to dump her, she has a meltdown in the middle of the restaurant. This type sounds similar to The Nutcase, but is more emotional, rather than just psycho. If you feel like your relationship is a rollercoaster, consider analyzing why you go through these torturous, insecure moments. Chances are, you just need a little reassurance that your guy cares about you. Be upfront with your man and tell him you need consistent reassurance and affection. And then find out the 8 Love Truths every girl must know!

5. The Timekeeper.

There's never enough "our time" for her; she pouts when her guy is with friends or works overtime. This type is similar to The Dryer Sheet, but can be more manipulative. How often do you give your guy guilt trips? If you're in the habit of keeping watch of his every move and getting upset when you're not numero uno on his priority list, you could be a Timekeeper. Busy yourself with other projects, honey.

    Thanks for validating what I've known for some years.

    having any of these habits is bad enough, but 4 out of 5!

    I must be a much better man than I thought, having put up with this abuse for 22 years (Oh well, with 4 kids in the picture, I was the only voice of reason and sanity

    for the family unit!)

    All I can say is: "Her next partner (if she's lucky enough to find one stupid enough) isn't gonna put up

    with her crap for 22 minutes!!

    i thought i did all the right things, i wasn't any of the above, gave him his freedom to be with the boys and what did he do after 15 years of marriage? the day my mother died he informed me he met someone else and wanted out. i'm still kicking myself for that stupidity.

    These are definitely great reasons to dump any girl, or guy for that matter and I've had them all. I just don't understand why I keep attracting these types and why I don't find out about them until several weeks/months later? I always tell myself I need to raise my standards but it doesn't seem to matter if they're debutantes or strippers, they always go psycho after becoming "comfortable". Makes me relish my solitude.

    One word to all guys out there. There are just too, too many beautiful women (inside/outside) out there to ever allow yourself to get caught up on one. For all American men I strongly suggest you dump your American " I want it all now" woman and head for Europe or Eastern Europe and meet some down to earth "real" women who are not hung up on "American Values" or woman's values. I've seen too many American men on the arm of too many fat (excuse me for not being PC) American women who are still using pregnancy as an excuse for their weight even though the child is 3 years old. If you're 26 and have had a child you should look 26 and not like my mother in law.

    Maybe it's just me but 1) I don't recall seeing that this post was anyway related to Tony and Jessica so why are so many just adding them to the mix, just because the picture is there. It could just be graphics. 2) Why do people always get offended if they read something they don't like that may refer a demographic they fit in? If it doesn't apply to you then don't sweat it. Not once did the article say everytime a relationship ends, it's the woman's fault. It's simply listing somethings that women do, that is a turn off to men. Period. If the pump doesn't fit you, then don't put it on but to get offended because someone is writing an article about bad traits is crazy and 3)All most everytime I come across this type of article or an article about stars or whatever, there's always some braniac in the post that think they are above whatever the topic is. I have a novel idea for them, keep it moving and stop reading the nonsense. Simple as that. How silly do you have to be to post on something just to say it's beneath you? That's stupid. I enjoyed the post. It's for entertainment purposes only. Either you take it to heart or you don't and keep it moving.

    ok, but if the girl youre with doesnt match any that's on this list? what's the type of girl that you want to spend more time with but doesn't spend enough time with you? she makes excuses about bein "busy" a lot and there doesn't seem to be a way to get her to make the guy a higher priority in her life but she swears up and down she cares and there's this bond but the feelin of bein neglected love is not mutual it would seem. there should be more than 5 types, because the one i just listed seems very dump-able.
